Importing and Editing Scanned Images
Changing Image Appearance
When an image is first opened, the bands or dots may appear too
strong, too weak or may not appear at all. The appearance of the
image can be changed by clicking
Adjust
in the toolbar and changing
the sensitivity.
The sensitivity settings change how the wide range of data values in
the image are mapped to the comparatively small number of color or
grayscale values on the display. The sensitivity on each channel can
be adjusted independently by entering a value or by clicking the
arrow buttons. The up and down arrows labeled “1” provide coarse
sensitivity adjustment and the arrows labeled “.1” provide a finer
adjustment.
Note:
Changing the sensitivity does not affect the quantification of the image, as the
software quantifies the data from the Odyssey

image file.
